Chapter 413 He is the king
Since Michael Bay's "Transformers" was released in July, "Man of Steel" is no longer as popular as before. Although he can still stay in the top ten North American box office rankings every weekend, the daily box office figures have fallen to the level of one million dollars, and some working days' box office even fell below one million dollars.
No matter how popular the summer productions are, it is always difficult to get rid of the crazy and fast pattern of going fast. Most of the total box office in North America is often produced in the first few weeks.
"Man of Steel" is no exception. After the cumulative box office in North America exceeded the 400 million US dollars mark, the number of theaters and screening rates in July continued to decline. By the end of the month, the number of screening theaters in North America dropped to 1,200, with the screening rate of less than 5%, and it has entered the final stage of screenings.
After this month's long screening, "Man of Steel" took more than $37 million from North America, and the total box office in North America reached $444.55 million!
With the audience's reputation dragged down by "Spider-Man 3" and "Shrek Monster 3" and "The End of the World" no longer the courage of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" back then, and "Transformers" is still the first song, the box office figure of $444.55 million is enough to ensure that "Man of Steel" will win the first place in this year's North American box office list!
This will also be Murphy's first North American box office champion since entering Hollywood.
Overseas, since no new heavyweight market joined the ranks of screenings, "Man of Steel" only received more than 150 million US dollars in box office revenue in July.
However, the global box office figure of "Man of Steel" has been infinitely close to the $1 billion mark.
As long as the global box office exceeds one billion US dollars, "Man of Steel" will surely soar, and director Murphy will benefit greatly from it.
In August, "Man of Steel" was officially released in Japan, which became the key to the film's global box office exceeding one billion.
As we all know, the Japanese film market has always been a rather bizarre place. No one can measure the audience in this country with general market rules. But one thing is certain that American comic hero movies have never been very popular in this country. Even Spider-Man, the American comic hero who claims to be the most popular in Japan, won't be very impressive in the box office figures in the trilogy.
But "Man of Steel" only needs the help of a new market and does not require much explosion. Even if the Japanese market is not good, it will be fine to get a box office of tens of millions of dollars.
There is also North America. Although it has entered the final stage of the screening, it can still contribute hundreds of thousands of dollars in box office every day. In addition to the contribution of other overseas markets, by mid-August, the overseas box office of "Man of Steel" broke through the billion dollar mark without any suspense.
After the third weekend in August, the latest box office statistics of "Man of Steel" show that the North American box office has accumulated a total of US$451.68 million, and the global box office has totaled US$1 billion.11.59 million!
Following "Titanic", "Lord of the Rings 3: Return of the King" and "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Soul Cave", "Body of Steel" has become the fourth movie that can surpass the billion dollar mark in the global box office since the birth of the movie.
Murphy is also the fourth director to accomplish this feat.
The most important thing is that he is only 27 years old this year, far younger than others, and youth in the eyes of Hollywood and media public means unlimited potential.
There is an inevitable rule in Hollywood. When a star or director is smooth sailing and constantly achieves outstanding results, the media is basically full of praise.
This time is no exception. The third week of North American entertainment media in August can be completely renamed "Murphy Stanton Week."
"Hollywood has never had a director like Murphy Stanton. Looking at the history of film around the world, no director has been able to do such an excellent position at Murphy Stanton's current age."
Entertainment Weekly
"Murphy Stanton has a natural directorial talent and endless curiosity. He has created countless memorable moments, but he still strives for excellence, continues to challenge himself, and achieves unattainable achievements!"
The Hollywood Reporter
"A director's career trajectory is often as eye-catching as his works, and Murphy Stanton is such a director."
Yahoo Entertainment
"Murphy Stanton has a painter-like vision. He stood at a high place, with epic wars and human suffering struggles. It seems that he has seen too many things that we cannot believe, and through works, he has turned these incredibles into real and visible."
"empire"
“When shocking special effects and the upcoming 3D era revolutionize filmmaking technology, Murphy Stanton is still focusing on the brilliant narrative that the film wins!”
The New York Times
"No one can reflect the struggles of human beings in such a concrete way through the films. In just a few years of career, he has achieved achievements that most directors cannot achieve in their lifetime, but he has never stopped his own pace, and his works will prove everything."
Los Angeles Times
"Murphy Stanton's work is a paradox. Although he acts mildly, he is always extremely bold in art. He shuttles back and forth between forms and takes risks. In the controversial "Man of Steel", he successfully gives comic book heroes the true feelings of humanity. In "The Lost Lover", the traits of the thriller are used to describe something deeper and deeper."
Washington Post
"Since adulthood, Murphy Stanton seems to have been observing the world constantly, and he seems to have transformed all the phantoms he has seen into his use, creating his unique style, telling those wonderful stories in the movie."
Vanity Fair
"There are few directors who can contribute more to film noir like Murphy Stanton, who is a fantasy who likes to extend the boundaries of media imagination, clearly portray his endless desires, and at the same time change our habits of watching movies."
Miami Herald
Just looking at the media praise, Murphy seems to have become the top super directors in Hollywood, and in fact it is not much different. The box office and reputation of "Man of Steel" have been greatly improved by effortlessly.
Now that Murphy is a first-line director in Hollywood, I believe that 90% of people will not refute it, but nodded and agreed.
This crazy media report reached its peak by listing Murphy as the cover character of Time magazine.
Since there was no real interview with Murphy, the cover captured a photo of Murphy on the set of "Man of Steel". The article that cooperated with the cover character is also told from the perspective of a third party.
"When we met Murphy Stanton on the set of "Boss of Steel", we saw that he was an energetic and creative young man. He was tall and strong, with a bit of elegance and handsomeness. He seemed to be an actor in his career, but he chose the director who did not need to rely on his appearance."
"When he spoke, his voice was very light, his accent was not heavy, and sometimes he would be a little ridiculous. He took every question seriously, as if he had never heard of these questions before, and he did not have the answers he had practiced in advance, nor would he talk about it."
"Like other great artists, Murphy Stanton's thoughts on life and the world did not become his burden, but his opportunity, which inspired his curiosity and his desire to explore."
"He is a director who likes to communicate with people. He is smart, funny, and sometimes a little humble. Of course, he is still proud of his movies, whether it is black entertainment or thought-provoking dark movies."
"Although he is twenty-seven years old, he can still see that childish aura on his body, which can even be said to be a kind of innocent aura."
"However, when we enter the working state, we see a director who is completely different from leisure. Murphy Stanton completely controls the overall situation on the set. He said that if there is light, there must be light, no matter what method is used; at the same time, he firmly believes that human beings will not suddenly evolve to a certain stage, and then in an instant, they will sing world peace hand in hand and harmony, and peace must be obtained through higher military force. This deeply rooted concept gives Murphy Stanton's works unique elements, deep, dark, serious..."
"In Murphy Stanton's movie world, he is the king, and fate accidentally brought this once lost youth into the movie world, undoubtedly opening Pandora's box. What he wants to do is nothing impossible."
There is no doubt that the media can guide public opinion. After the media sang hymns crazy hymns, Murphy reached a peak in both fame and reputation, especially in the industry, and has firmly stood on the front line.
At the same time, among the major cities in North America, various Murphy-Stanton Fan Associations have appeared one after another, and in the ImDB discussion group, they have also entered the top ten of all directors and stars in one fell swoop.
Bill Rossis was also extremely busy. Warner Bros. and DC Comics made a very box office turnaround through "Man of Steel", which was seen by everyone. Although the two parties did not renew their new director contracts due to high compensation, it did not prevent other Hollywood filmmakers from chasing a young director who was constantly successful.
The film appointments were sent one by one, including invitations from other five companies. Murphy also asked Bill Roses to pick out some good invitations to him for a review. If there is really a suitable type, he wouldn't mind signing a contract, as long as he had to have the corresponding director's pay.
